Like every year, or rather every season, I go for a long walk through the Chorzów Ethnographic Park, also known as the popular Chorzów open-air museum, meaning I go out into the countryside.

You'd think that constantly visiting this place might get boring. Nothing could be further from the truth, because it's more than just a walk through the park, which, of course, never gets boring.

As a lover of the countryside who spent a large part of my childhood in the countryside, or rather, almost in the countryside, I can go to the open-air museum every day.

Why did I write "almost in the countryside"? The reason is quite prosaic. My uncle owned a house, a forester's lodge, in what was called a colony, completely isolated, and the nearest village was about 3 km from our house.

Generally, trips to my uncle's house generated a lot of contact with nature, a lot of solitude, freedom, and peace, which I find during walks through the open-air museum.

The September Monday walk was also quite peaceful. There were almost no walkers, so I felt the atmosphere of a deserted village.

A great advantage of this place is the domestic animals, which create a unique atmosphere. Goats grazing on hay, cows, and rabbits transport us to a completely different dimension and allow us to relax.

Although it's already the beginning of September, there aren't many signs of autumn in the open-air museum. It's green, everything is teeming with life, and the sun, although still high, can be quite warm, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius.

Next Monday, I'm going on another trip across the border to a neighboring village, the Chorzów open-air museum.
